As an A&E doctor, Alex is on the frontlines of the British healthcare system, bringing accessible and reassuring advice to the public direct from the frontline. It was his career identity as an A&E Emergency Doctor that set him apart from the other Love Island contestants, as many lovingly referred to him as Dr Alex. The entire nation fell for Alex's onstage charm and "good guy" persona, which resulted in him narrowly missing out on fourth place. Upon returning from sunny Mallorca, Alex jumped at the chance to return to healthcare, this time, as a General Practitioner. He has also worked with charities such as YoungMinds, Mind and the Anna Freud Centre on a mission to make mental health sit amongst maths and English on the national curriculum.
Generating a substantial social media following during his time in the Love Island villa, Alex now uses his platform as a force for positive change. He is honest about the highs and lows of Love Island, in particular, the effect that it had on his mental health, and is not afraid to discuss therapy with his fans. Committed to healthcare, Alex juggles his responsibility as an A&E doctor with being the Health Editor for Good Morning Britain, the UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador and as a resident presenter on Lorraine. Alex has also released his first book, authoring Live Well Every Day in 2021- which achieved him the title of Sunday Times Number 1 Bestseller. In 2023, Alex will join Anna Richardson and Yinka Bokinni to present Naked Education, a new programme dedicated to body positivity and educating viewers on what a 'normal' body looks like.
Aside from his social media presence, Alex's podcast, The Waiting Room, has helped his career to thrive. An authority on recent health epidemics, he used his platform to promote positive hygiene tips during the Coronavirus outbreak of 2020 and give a voice to the NHS staff on the frontline. The ideal event host, Alex employs the same cheeky, charismatic personality that shone through on Love Island, capable of turning any event into a memorable occasion. Bringing his healthcare knowledge to events, Dr Alex is a leading authority on mental and sexual health, making health and medicine more accessible to the millennial generation and beyond.
